i'm a twit? twitterer? (#12)

twitter seems like a streamlined version of facebook. personally, i don't need to know what everyone (or for instance, the library) is doing at any given point in time. and i sure as hell don't want the play-by-play texted to my phone! ugh. would people really subscribe to the library's twitterings and be kept updated that regularly? i had a hard time finding people and apparently ran out of searches i was allowed to do at once. seems ill-advised to limit the number of searches, but as i won't continue to use twitter, i guess i don't really care. as i mentioned when i ranted about facebook, it's yet another place to spend time with updates. both for the person conveying the updates and the person looking for the information. i suppose as we move away from printing everything on paper, these sites will be more and more useful. however, not everyone has high-speed internet access in their homes or mobile devices, so it may be a while before we have to rely on twitter. on the other hand, some people LOVE that constant messaging and practically live on the internet, so they would probably really enjoy seeing a library twitter page. i suppose it can't hurt to utilize all our options, so maybe it's just a matter of time before we try to sucker -- sorry, i meant before we choose an AMAZING and INCREDIBLY INTELLIGENT person on the staff to take up the task...
